When it Comes to Crawl Spaces, There’s Only Olshan

There are 3 areas of concerns with crawl spaces.

Structural Problems: Structural issues weaken the support system of the home, causing floors to sag, cracks in walls and doors & windows that stick – Left unaddressed, these stability issues can dramatically impact the value and appearance of your home.

Water Problems: Water seeks the path of least resistance and enters your crawl space through weak points. Pooling water underneath the home can lead to structural damage, rot, mold, and unpleasant odors throughout the home.

Air Quality Problems: Do you notice musty odors coming from the crawl space? In your home, hot air rises from below and escapes near the upper levels. This means the air you breath inside your home comes from the humid crawl space area, through a process known as the Stack Effect.

A wet, leaky crawl space is no fun. Sure there’s the foul odors inside your home, and the critters and bugs making your crawl space their hotel. But there are also more serious hazards to consider. Over time, crawl space water intrusion can lead to:

Inadequate Structural Support

Deteriorating Wood

Mold, Mildew and other Air Quality Problems

Sloping or uneven floors

Cracks in brick, walls or block

Doors that stick or won’t close

Increased energy costs

Buckled hardwood floors

Condensation on air conditioning ductwork or equipment

To correct these issues, a certified member from the team will assess your home (or business) and explain all the possible solutions in a friendly clear manner, then present you with a detailed repair plan that may include the installation of wall/floor liners, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, interior/exterior drainage, landscaping or gutters.

There is no pressure or commitment to buy. No pushy sales tactics. Just great information. Free-of-charge.

A representative from our termite company came today for inspection, and he was very impressed. He said, "whoever did your encapsulation did an excellent job. I was able to go all over the crawl space, which was totally dry, and I could see everything so well due to the white plastic.
